Week full of soup

Even though it's only 2 soups, it has lasted me most of the week.

Soup # 1 - Chicken Soup
So Monday afternoon I started to feel like I was coming down with a cold. Since there was no way I could have come into contact with onions, it must have been the real thing. So I went home and made myself some chicken soup and went to bed at 9 pm.

brown rice

wild rice

quinoa (black and white)

chicken cut into pieces

carrots

spices: turmeric, cayenne, pepper and salt (if I remember right)

I also used some frozen chicken stock (likely had carrots, celery, chicken bones, parsley, thyme, oregano)

Note: do not keep the soup at boiling for very long or the wild rice will explode, should cook for at least 35 min to cook all the rice and quinoa

Chicken Soup

It seemed to do the trick, I didn't get a cold and the leftovers sure are yummy!

Soup # 2 - Savory Pumpkin Bacon Soup
Tuesday I came home from a frigid game of soccer and decided that I wanted pumpkin soup with bacon and cheese.

cook bacon and cut into pieces, remove from pan

1 can pureed pumpkin

soy milk to get right consistency (this was pretty thick, kinda like a stew)

About Me

I am finding my new diet quite the adventure. When I was searching for gluten-free, diary-free, yeast-free, egg free ... I couldn't find recipes that I could use without modifications and since all of this happened at once I was not used to making substitutions. Now I have a better handle on everything I thought that I would share it with everyone else.
